I'm also very attached to my T. She knew from the start that it's a pattern of mine to get attached to people (specifically Ts). I guess it's partially a BPD thing for me. Her goal for me from the start was to reduce how fast I got attached. She kept strong boundaries. It did take me longer to get attached, but also because we had a lot of issues in the beginning of our relationship. A few months ago, I admitted to her that I love her. She was fine with it. She said it's normal...of course not all people love their therapists, but it happens often. She didn't make me feel bad, ashamed, or guilty. In fact, I felt very accepted.
